Y Application filed September 29, 1908. Serial No. 465,258.

Patented Ian. 5, i909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MABEL B. BARRON, citizen of the United States, residing at Camden, in the county ofKnox and State of Maine, have invented new and useful Im-- provements in Covers for Cream-Bowls, of which the following is a specification.

'lhis invention relates to covers or, guards for bowls or other vessels, the object of the invention being to provide a devlce especially ada ted for use 1n connection with cream bows, to enable the cream to be whipped without danger of the same flying and escaping during thewhipping operation, the device being so constructed as to adapt it to V bowls of different sizes and shapes and the device being also adapted by reason of its construction for use in connection therewith of cream whippers of different sizes and shapes. 1

With the above and other objects in view,

the invention consists in the novel constructlon, comblnatlon and arrangement of 'parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed. i

In the accompanying drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cover or guard showing the gate thereof open to receive the cream whipper. Fig; 2 is a plan view of the same, showing the gate open in full lines and closed in dotted lines. Flg. 3 is a diametrica-l section through the same. I

The main body of the cover or guard is of frusto-conical shape, that is to say, it comprises a substantially fiat top 1 and a coneshaped downwardly flaring rim or flange 2 ada ted to fit snugly over the top of the bow or other receptacle and to form a com paratively tight joint with such bowl, also adapting the cover to fit with the necessary precision on bowls of different sizes. a

Extending downward from the body of the cover at suitable intervals around the rim thereof is a plurality of reversely curved spring arms 3 which are adapted to embrace t e sides of the bowl or vessel and retain the cover or guard securely in lace thereon without additional aid. The ower edge of the rim or flange 2 is also preferably reinforced by forming the same with a roll or bead as shown at 4.

. 'i he cover or guide is provided with a cenextending outward from said central openin entirely through the flat top and one side 0 the rim or flange 2 is a gate-way 6, whlch after the whipper has been introduced into its pro or position is closed by means of a pivote gate which comprises aflat upper portion 7 adapted to complete the top and Ya downwardly extending inclined portion 8 r adapted to cover the portion of the gate-way formed in the flange 2. The lower edge of thegate is adapted to snap into engagement with the head 4 when closed thereby retaining the same in a closed position.

At one of its upper corners the gate is provided with a pivot lug 9 which receives the pivot 10 connecting the same with the body of the cover or guard. I

The guard or cover hereinabove described is thus adapted to vessels or bowls of different sizes, but is ada ted to admit of the reception and remova of cream whip ers ofdifi'erent sizes and shapes. The device will be found very convenient to the housekeeper and also ve economical in that it any materia loss of cream duringt e whipping operation. I claim:-

1. A cover or guard for the urpose described comprising a substantia y flat top with a central opening, a downwardl flaring or conical flange, a. gate-wa leading om the central opening outward t ough the side of the cover or guard, agate for openingand' lprevents closing said gate-way, and retaining means for holding said cover or guard in position-on a vessel, substantially as described.

v 2. Aguard or cover for the purpose specified comprising a frusto-conical body embodying a substantially fiat top provided with a central opening and a conical or downwardly flaring flange surrounding the same, a pivot gate adapted to open and close said gate-way, and a series of spring arms extending downward from sa d cover and arranged at intervals in the circumference thereof, substantially .as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
